Who would have thought that their mountain village could be said to have defeated a high-ranking figure like the county magistrate today, which is simply unimaginable. Of course, the biggest contributions go to Master Song and Li Shushen.

"It is said that this child is not the child of Landlord Li's family. He was just kicked out of the house by the Li family. What did Landlord Li think? He has raised him for many years, how can he have feelings? And the child is very capable, why wouldn't he want it?"

"Maybe the child doesn't want the Li family? He's really capable. It would be great if it were my child. Landlord Li would regret it now, right?"

Landlord Li, no, he is beating his wife and has no time to take care of other people's children.

The villagers started talking in twos and threes, all talking about the major events that happened today.

Here, after Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang untied Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, a group of people followed Hong Li and were walking towards Master Song.

Just when he heard the conversation between Jiang Changan and Li Shushen, Old Man Jiang became anxious and said, "Lao San, it's not you who leaked the list of salt lands, right?" Then he would definitely be beaten to death by the villagers.

"Dad, I don't have time. We went to the county seat before dawn. I don't know who bought the salt land. And I didn't say that Chang'an came up with the recipe for making ice."

Jiang Laosan smiled flatteringly at Jiang Changan.

This niece is still reliable. If it hadn't been for her today, I might have been executed by the county magistrate. Not only Jiang Laosan, but also the Jiang family was grateful to the second wife.

When Old Man Jiang thought about it, it seemed that it was the same, it would be fine if it wasn't Mr. Jiang, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Lizheng spoke at this time, "I scanned around and found that the whole village is missing the family of Patriarch Jiang and Boss Jiang's family."

Why didn't they come? They must have known that the county magistrate had a big move and didn't dare to come, to avoid being accidentally hurt? Why did they know that the county magistrate would launch an attack, because it was these two families who reported the letter?

Of course, this was just Hong Lizheng's guess, but the villagers were not stupid. They knew what Hong Lizheng meant almost immediately, so they all looked sad.

They almost died under the knife of the officers and soldiers just now, was it all because of those two traitors? Otherwise, they might have waited until the new government order was issued before reporting it to the government. This was the original plan of Master Song and Hong Lizheng.

.

Who knew that the county magistrate had arrived early? If Li Shushen hadn't been so powerful, blood would have flowed all over Baishi Mountain by now, right?

The villagers were very angry, but they also knew that this matter had nothing to do with the second brother of the Jiang family, and the third brother was just a scapegoat. If Jiang Changan hadn't taken action in time, Jiang Laosan and his wife would have been killed.

.

The ferocity of the officers, soldiers and policemen was still fresh in the memory of all the villagers.

Old Man Jiang was shocked. He didn't expect that the matter was related to Old Man Jiang. That person had read books, so he couldn't possibly not understand the general outline, right?

Hong Lizheng sighed and patted Old Man Jiang on the shoulder to express comfort.

However, if those two families really betrayed the entire village, they would definitely be ostracized, and they would not dare to do anything to them. After all, they were probably people protected by the county magistrate, but they were hated by the people of the same village.

It's enough for them to drink a pot.

Jiang Changan didn't expect to be related to Boss Jiang. Her purpose was just to find the traitor and be careful in the future to avoid being betrayed a second time.

If the culprit is really Da Fang, then she must be cautious and careful in her home from now on.

"No matter what, it is always a problem that we will face sooner or later. The current results are not bad, and we don't have to live with a hanging heart in the future. Everyone should be busy, making ice when it is time to make ice, and making salt when it is necessary.

Salt.

But the salt cannot be sold, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." After saying this, Master Song led Li Shushen down the mountain.

After saying this, the villagers suddenly became happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Song. If it hadn't been for you here today, things in the village wouldn't have been possible."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Song, you don't need to make or buy salt from now on. Our village has it."

"If you have any problems with me, Shushen, you can go to the village. You are now the benefactor of the entire mountain village, and you are the child of our mountain village. You're welcome."

The villagers started shouting and Master Song quickly started talking to the guests.

Jiang Laosan and his wife looked at each other, regained their spirits immediately, pushed aside the people around them, and came to Li Shushen's side, "Shu Shen, you see you have such a good relationship with our parent An.

Can we use the saltpeter from Baishi Mountain?" This guy's luck is really good. The graveyard he bought for fun actually contains saltpeter. Isn't it too profitable?

"As you wish." This thing wasn't really his anyway, so Li Shushen shrugged indifferently.

"Hey, thank you. Well, the price is hehe, Chang'an." Jiang Laosan smiled shyly at Jiang Chang'an, of course hoping that the saltpeter could be bought cheaply.

Jiang Changan guessed that Sanfang should have made money today, otherwise they would not dare to do it again if they were caught once.

The county seat is the territory of the county magistrate. Who knows if the county magistrate will be in a bad mood and take action on them one day?

Only enough benefits can make the two of them bolder.

"Look at what I'm doing, the saltpeter isn't mine." Jiang Changan wouldn't care anyway, and she wouldn't easily forgive the couple because they were so disgusting.

It is simply perverted for a man to spy on his sister-in-law, and for a woman to spy on her eldest uncle. They cannot get too close together, so they must build a house early and move in so that they do not have to see these two people every day.

Jiang Laosan was disappointed. Didn't the little girl just save him? Why do you still hold a grudge?

"Well, you make ice to sell, and you have to pay for whatever amount you make, but the money can be given directly to the village. What do you think, teacher?"

Li Shushen quickly diverted Master Song's attention. The old man must have been suspicious of his own skills, especially the land deed and letter he took out. He must be very curious about the source.

But Li Shushen was not very willing to lie to his teacher, but he didn't know how to explain it. He was really embarrassed. It would be better if he didn't get to the bottom of it.

Li Shushen pulled Jiang Changan pitifully and asked her to find a way for him.

Jiang Changan, the crazy and majestic little plum disappeared suddenly, which is really a bit uncomfortable. Is this person a good person?

However, Jiang Changan felt that Master Song was very open-minded. If you didn't tell him, he didn't necessarily have to know.

Master Song looked at the two children flirting with each other in a funny way, and he guessed a little, but he was indeed very open-minded, who didn't have a secret?

Elders only need to protect their children, and it is really not easy for them to interfere in other matters. When their children want to know, they will naturally tell them.

"Shu Shen is right, leave this matter to Hong Lizheng."

"Then don't worry, the villagers in this village will definitely not sell it at a high price. The money we earn will be used to build ancestral halls, bridges and roads, and help the lonely elderly people and children who are unable to take care of themselves in the village."

Hong Lizheng vowed that these goals were actually proposed by Master Song earlier. If the village's income increased, wouldn't it be possible to implement them?

"Thank you Uncle Li Zheng, thank you Master Song, and of course, especially thank you Shu Shen, and my eldest niece!" Jiang Laosan grinned.

Ha! The village must not know how easy it is to sell ice water in the summer. Anyway, they made a lot of money today. Even if they lost some bowls, barrels and other things, they still made a lot of money.

Moreover, the money was kept close to Jiang's body, otherwise she would not have been taken advantage of by those policemen.

But who cares about that now? A few kneadings can save the boss a bag of money. Even a fool can do it.

The matter of ice and salt can almost be said to have been settled. Since Master Song has the ability to directly reach the sky, has great abilities, and has a good mind, Hong Lizheng is more willing to chat with him about the development and construction of the village.

"Salt is a good thing. People only have strength after eating salt, so today's autumn harvest should be easier.

However, it has been sunny for too long. According to experience, it may rain during the summer harvest and the grain may become moldy.

Our village in the mountains has just made the county magistrate unhappy, and he will definitely not be merciful when it comes to collecting taxes." Of course, this county magistrate has not been merciful in the past, and families who did not have enough tax revenue were often hired as laborers.

.

And those workers are not easy to do. Being tired is a trivial matter, and many people will die from exhaustion. This is the style of the county magistrates they came to Chang County, and it is extremely black.

"Haha, look at it. Only when there is pressure is there motivation. Everyone will be able to harvest better in the summer. Isn't this a giant car from Chang'an? It saves a lot of effort."

"Well, this summer harvest is not that simple. From the very beginning, the harvest needs to be exposed to the sun, and you can at least finish pounding the poles before you can move them home.

Then there is threshing, which is the most labor-intensive. If it is not dried well, the millet will not come out.

After raising the field, we need to dry the grain. Our field is small to begin with. If we don't have three to five days, we won't be able to dry it all, and the ones that are not exposed to the sun will become moldy.

From beginning to end, if there were not ten days during this period, it would be impossible to complete the summer harvest."

Everyone knew the process, but Hong Lizheng still couldn't help but nag more. It was because the farmers were suffering too much. Even though they were tired, they couldn't even keep half of the recovered grain.

The tax in Laichang County is 60%! It's too heavy. Couldn't Master Song go directly to Tianting? Complain to them, maybe they can charge less.

"How long has it taken?" Jiang Changan was surprised. With several acres of land and a large family, wouldn't it be enough to cut it in just one day?

"No, often the sickle has been rolled up and the rice has not been cut yet." Tie Gui, if a family has three or two sickles, they are a rich family. Anyway, they have a lot of life.

"I will make a sickle that will not roll up no matter how much rice is cut." How hard can the rice pole be? It can only be said that the current iron is not strong enough, and the sickle made is too poor.

And they are all thick and heavy sickles, like woodchopping knives.

"Really?! Can Chang'an do it now? Summer harvest will come soon." Hong Li was looking at Jiang Chang'an expectantly. Isn't this child so smart?

"Okay, I will try to make a few more threshing machines. Don't ask now. Once they are made, everyone will know whether they can be used and whether they are easy to use."

Although Jiang Changan is sure to make it, there is a contingency, so he still doesn't let others have too much hope.

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble Chang'an."

"Since Chang'an is busy, you don't have to go to private school these days and just do what you want to do seriously." Master Song stroked his beard and gave Jiang Changan time and support.

Anyway, this child has done very well in his studies. If he can make a difference with farm tools, it will also lay the foundation for his future career, which would be a good thing.

"Okay, thank you, sir." That's great. There are a lot of things that have been accumulated at home, and we can just finish them together in the past few days, such as cars, pottery, houses, and the threshing machine that was just promised.

"Teacher, I'm going to help." Li Shushen had already planned to move into the Jiang family, so it would be better to avoid Master Song now.

"Well, go ahead."

Go ahead and do what you think is right

I’m so happy! Thank you babies for voting! Thank you!
